"Blood is medicine's most vital natural resource, and it's frequently
in short supply," said Ron Labrum, president and chief executive officer of
Fenwal. "The individuals we're honoring have helped save and improve
numerous lives through their donations. Their stories are inspiring; by

2008 inductees are:

Blood donors are the only source of blood for transfusion. When
donating blood, people give a pint of whole blood or donate a specific
blood component via an automated system. When donating whole blood, the
donated unit is separated into its therapeutic components providing one
unit of red blood cells and a partial dose of platelets and plasma. When
donating on an automated system, a donor gives approximately the same
amount of blood, but more of the component that is in highest demand
depending on their donor characteristics and blood type.

Approximately 14 million units of red blood cells, 10 million platelet
units and 4 million units of plasma are transfused annually in the United
States.

To make a blood donation or to learn more about donating blood, please
contact your local blood center. To learn more about this year's Donation
Hall of Fame inductees or to submit a nomination for the 2009 Donation Hall
